Konka Rar had bought himself some time. Now he needed to use it well.
The ground at his feet had remained steady. The lich stood in a clearing surrounded by tall slopes of earth on all sides.
A basic levitation spell carried him up one of the slopes effortlessly. Even if the slime sought to climb the outer structure rather than burrowing, it would not be able to navigate the rough surface as smoothly. Rar would have time to flee.
But that thought did not comfort him. Fleeing was a temporary solution, and only served to leave him in a continued state of powerlessness. No, he would have to find some way to fight back.
Reaching the peak of the earthen maze, Rar looked out on the horizon with his cybernetic vision. He observed a dog wander near the boundary of the park.
The resulting display of electricity surprised him. And also pleased him.
That much electrical force would surely affect the slime, especially if it were non-magical in nature. All he had to do was lure it to the boundary, and the fence would take care of the rest.
Of course, he could simply allow it to chase him, but then he would run the risk of being struck by the defenses himself. He would have to devise a plan; and to do that, he would first have to confirm that the slime creature had, in fact, entered the maze.
He floated around the upper edge of the tall crater that marked the center of the maze, carefully hovering just low enough for his eye to peek over the edge. He soon observed Ekelhaft emerging from a wall and oozing towards another, burrowing into it. Hoss was also moving through the maze, seemingly in pursuit.
Konka Rar would have smiled if his teeth were not locked in a permanent grin. At last, he was in control. Ekelhaft and Hoss were forced to respond to him, rather than the other way around.
It was a situation the lich intended to take full advantage of.

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
